Arrangement/set-up details
Please note the arrangements below for the day to run as smoothly as possible:
Set-up: 9.00 am – 11.00am
Opening times: 11.30 am – 1.30pm
Dismantling: 1.30pm – 2.30pm; we would ask exhibitors to stay until 1.30pm as students in lectures may attend the Fair after 1.00pm.
Deliveries/storage of material
If you plan to send your exhibition stand or supplies of material in advance, the courier must be given clear instructions.
The stand and material should be sent directly to the UL Careers Service, EG0-019 marked 'Materials for the UL Careers Fair', with your company name clearly visible. Deliveries will be accepted between 9am and 5pm on the Monday and Tuesday before the Fair.
Couriers
If using a courier to deliver your stand, please make them aware of the delivery instructions above; this will avoid confusion on the day. In previous years, we have experienced problems with materials incorrectly labelled or sent to the wrong location.
This arises when couriers are used, which can cause great inconvenience to the exhibitor concerned on the day.
Material drop-off
The venue for the Spring Career Fair Series is EG0-10, Main Building.
Please review the campus map showing the venue's location (Building No. 13 ).
Direction signs will be in place on the day. It will be possible to park (for a short period only) at the back entrance of EG0-10, to off-load stands and material. Please find a Google Maps pin here for directions.
As this is a restricted area, vehicles must be moved once the material has been off-loaded. Vehicles left unattended in this area will be clamped/removed.
Parking
Visitor Parking has been arranged for you in P17.
Parking regulations are strictly enforced on campus, and vehicles parked in restricted areas are clamped.
Please find a Google Maps pin here for directions.
Registration/ Careers Service/CECD Team
On arrival at the EG0-10, all exhibitors are requested to register with the Careers Service. Our stand will be located at the top of the exhibition hall. A member of the Careers Fair team/crew will direct you to the location of your stand.

Stand/space allocation
The space allocated to each stand is 3m x 2.5m, with a table and two chairs. We recommend that stand set up is complete 30 minutes before opening to avoid congestion.
NB: Promotional products such as balloons and drones are not allowed as this can interfere with the fire suppression systems.
